CANNOT GRANT ANTICIPATORY BAIL IF PERSON IS ALREADY ARRESTED IN ANOTHER CASE: RAJASTHAN HIGH COURT The Rajasthan High Court held that a plea for anticipatory bail would not be maintainable if the person has already been arrested and is in custody for another criminal case. The High Court discussed Section 46 of CrPC which stated that arrest would mean to actually touch or confine the body of the person to custody of the police officer. The natural corollary of this would be that a person already in custody cannot have reasons to believe that he shall be arrested as he stands already arrested. Thus, the anticipatory bail plea before the High Court was dismissed. With a team of Law experts, Reddy & amp; Reddy Law Firm has extensive experience and involvement in legal disputes.
